Michael Halliday

Linguist; born 1925. He emerited 1987 as professor of the University of Sydney and the [Macquarie University]. He developed a grammar model- the systemic funtional grammar - first by studing Chinese. It has been applied to other languages as well. It is especially useful for describing non-European languages.
